Led by a dominant male, Chimpanzee family groups travel during the day and build nests to sleep in at night.
Zoological Society of London – Berbak Carbon Initiative
The Berbak swamp forest in Sumatra is rich in biodiversity, including the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger. These forests are disappearing at >3% year from illegal and legal logging, threatening the wildlife and communities and representing carbon emissions in excess of 3 million tonnes per year. This project aims to bring stability and longevity to conservation and carbon storage by developing relevant, clear economic incentives, for the local communities to support forest conservation measures.
